arbroathbill Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Is Dylan Paterson coming back this month from his loan spell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lichtie78 Posted January 5, 2022 Author Share Posted January 5, 2022 I think he will be out on loan until the end of the season. But needs to be at a higher level than Bo’Ness Athletic. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stan3600 Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Has anyone made a highlights video of Nouble at Arbroath? Please. I rave to my English friends about him and want to show them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TedCrilly Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Dowds return to Falkirk has been confirmed on our official site. I don’t think the move to Arbroath is fully dead in the water just yet though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tattie36 Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 (edited) Leaves us in a bit of a pickle. Was really hoping we could have bought him from Falkirk. Dowds and Nouble were both excellent with their feet and great at creating chances for others as well as possessing a goal threat. Fear we’ll have to go ultra direct up front now and it also leaves us very light in attack. Edited January 6, 2022 by Tattie36 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RossBFaeDundee Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Tbf, they'd have to be thick as pig shit if they were going to let him stay away any longer... so it wasn't impossible, but still very unlikely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The opportunity to go on and agree something else now presents itself. Edited January 6, 2022 by DUAFC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like they’re quite excited to be getting him back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kejan Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Always thought we would lose JL, but a bit of a bummer in Dowds going back as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe put an offer in for a pre contract for next year though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lichtie78 Posted January 6, 2022 Author Share Posted January 6, 2022 Losing them both has always been a big possibility so I’m confident DC has a contingency plan. Hopefully soon, too, as we are now much worse off in the forward area. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokerson Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Was always going to happen, to be fair he has acted quite quickly by bringing back Hamilton. We now have Hamilton, Linn, Donnelly and Hilson who can play in the two forward areas, however i still think the return of Low could be pivotal as that will allow McKenna to move further forward. That said, most seem to think Hilson/Donnelly aren't good enough so wouldn't be surprised to see another forward coming in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timlichtie Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Very disappointing but not surprising. In form strikers are like gold dust. You only have to look at our competitors to see how few there are. Thank goodness we got Jack Hamilton in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was that no Todd Lumsdens master plan (that actually worked out quite well in League 2). You can’t lump him in as a striker? Personally don’t think Hilson is up to it I think he’s well off form and confidence and he’s been played out of position a lot and I think he needs a change to get him back going again he can’t get a run with us I think LD is a very good player and he’s been playing well and offers the team something However I don’t fancy either of them to score too many goals. For where we are and the position were in, once in a lifetime really do you think Hilson / LD / Linn???? Don’t get why he’s in here / Jack Hammy is strong enough to be going into last 15 games with? Even if we were sitting 7th I’d have maybe said yeah we could maybe get by but we’re top of the league min 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clashcityrocker Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 I think the door is still wide open for Dowds to return - his loan period was up, but that won't mean the talks have finished. Arbroath will be in talks with Falkirk to sort out a deal and hopefully this will resolve itself soon - unsure if this will get sorted before the weekend, but I suspect Arbroath are working trying to sort out an agreement. Time will tell. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
